I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at data.ai (San Francisco, CA) in Feb 2014
Interview
I was referred by a former colleague. They said it was a fun and fast growing company so I did my research and knew this was the place I wanted to work. I came in for a few interviews and presentation. The office is very cool and high tech and the people are young, bright and driven.

Question 1
I didn't expect to get any homework but I was glad I did. It really made me think and put my abilities to the test. Presenting was also a little nerve racking but I was confident in my work and the team valued my work.
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at data.ai (Bergen op Zoom)
Interview
Got contacted for an interview, did a case study, then another interview with Hiring Manager. Was told would heard back, but it has been 2 weeks now and I’ve been ghosted even though I sent a follow up email. I don’t know if I’m no longer considered or if they’re still considering other candidates but it would be nice to know if I was still under consideration or not.

Question 1
How would you go about completing a project if you had to complete it within x amount of days?
The interviewer missed our scheduled interview time, rescheduled, then called at the wrong time thinking I was someone else. The interview questions seemed surface level and irrelevant, she was unable to answer questions about the job, company vision, and company culture. Despite the bad interview process, I emailed later to follow up and had no response.
Pros:
- The coordinator is responsive and helpful.
- The line manager is trying to make a friendly environment throughout the whole interview process.
- The interview questions are designed to identify your ceilings of qualities and skills without being provocative.
Cons:
- NO SHOW in a scheduled interview seems an usual thing for App Annie according to previous comments on glassdoor and eventually it happened to me as well.
- The misunderstanding between line manager and HR is staggering, given the fact that they seem expect something fundamentally different from each other regarding a specific role.
